Assassination Attempt on Barack Obama Foiled

Note: this post is from a previous plot that was thwarted during the summer. To read my post on this latest plot, see this.

I guess in my naivety I thought America was passed this type of bigotry. It seems as though a possible assassination attempt on Barack Obama’s life may have been thwarted.

CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass reported one of the suspects told authorities they were “going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a … rifle … sighted at 750 yards.”

Law enforcement sources tell Maass that one of the suspects “was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative.”

At this point we really don’t know how serious this threat was, or how competent these people were. I would say that they really couldn’t be all that competent. Again, that may just be my naivety. These people seem to have belonged to a white supremacist group.

Sources say he was wearing a ring with a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.

While I have written many times about the “de-evolution” of society and the loosening of the moral codes that have held us together as a society, I never believed that we could sink this low. I have defended American society against what I though were ludicrous statements about a possible Barack Obama assassination attempt and now I realize that I have given the American people too much credit.

White Supremacist…… hahahaha what a joke. it’s like the NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY, so-called movements. The only thing they move is their mouths…. Pleeeeease!!!!! Barack and McCAIN have the tightest security IN THE WORLD. People need to learn to accept CHANGE

hmm…..attempt to assasinate a potential candidate? Its hard to believe that the entire media haven’t flashed this as a headline. The speech of political figures are dissected into communication techniques by the masses for hours, yet a threat to the lives of the country’s potential leader is taken lightly. If it was some actor, I’m sure it was be all over the news like there was no tomorrow.

I’m also surprised that this did not get any more media attention. I’m not sure either party would really want that to happen.
The Republicans exploiting the story weakens their strongest possibility to win the election(the general racism of the average american voter). And increases the importance of Joe Biden ( A popular choice among that same group as well as middle of the road republicans).
The Democrats obviously would not want to point out their candidates possible (probable?) longevity issues.

In the 80’s the IRA got relatively close to Prime Minister Thatcher. She had gloated on how they would never get her. Their response was that she had to get lucky every single time; they only had to get lucky once. The fact is that the FBI and Secret Service are very good at their jobs. However, the internal British intelligence services are better and had to police a much more rigorous gun controlled society with a much smaller land mass.

Most modern terrorist organizations look to the IRA as a model. Organizations here will take that lead. They already have access to weapon caches that their European counterparts would salivate at. It is very difficult to keep at bay a motivated fanatic with an agenda.

The obvious idea is to suppress them. In our society, that is a difficult proposition. If we do so that is silencing our unalienable rites. People already are wary of current laws, would they accept further in order to set a dangerous precedent to protect one president?

Israel lost a PM and they have a top notch security service, probably superior to ours. Neo Nazi and White Supremacist doctrine is to start a race war. Every time there is a riot that is ethnically bent their ranks swell. Assassination attempts are a win for them. Even his family is now a legitimate target in their eyes. What about those even motivated within his own ranks? The Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a member of his own party.

Remember, Reagan was almost killed and that is within the last twenty-five years. Kennedy was hardly the first successful Presidential assassination. They only have to get lucky once.

i thiink BARACK OBAMA will be one of the best presidents that america will have.his speeches are really real and emotional.i thiink he knows how to lead a country and how to really get peoples attention.he can really get to peoples heart.the assassination attempt just shows how low some people are.i knew that McCain didnt stand a chance against Obama.McCain won by a hundered something votes and Obama won by seven hundered something.i know that obama is going to make a really good president and he is going to make America a better country.

I hate this chciken humping imbred, it’s too bad that he has come as far as he has. He has real charm and I am finding it hard not to like him, but at the same time he is just too naive to fill this position. How can someone as young as Barack Obama, with the negative views of an African-American (he believes like all the others that he is owed something), and finally didn’t have a real father which always caues a fathers complex. I hope for the sake of my country that this guy makes it, but I don’t think he will be in this good of a “standing” position by the end of his firt term. By the end of his first term he will be “laying down” just like all the other fake ass presidents we have.
